Apparently, it was a nickname for a small trainset at the turn of the century. By 1904, all of the Manhattan Elevated and most of the BRT had been electrified. Energizing the third rail on that spur would have taken away needed current for Brooklyn Bridge trains and streetcars. At that time, they were using only 550 volts, not the later 600V. |
